A village chief is beaten ruthlessly by a politician's goons. He is kicked and punched mercilessly. He is seen withering in pain with some blood on his face. Not at all graphic.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
23 of 36 found this mild
There is a scene where two older boys see a man being beaten up. He is on the ground and other men are kicking him.
There are some intense arguments between people, including between a father and son. Some of these arguments involve loud yelling, and pushing. It's intense, but not throughout the whole movie, and it is because they are in an intense situation, so the disagreements are much more extreme.
Some scenes with rioting and pillaging, danger implied, nothing explicit is seen.
